That gas tax is *exactly* what I was referring to! ;_;

And what exactly *IS* a reasonable amount of time? Cause my $0.02 is the moment personal property (like my vehicle) gets damaged, it’s been too late.

I mean, you *can*.

It was literally 40 degrees last week.

Look at the weather and the relevant local events and congestion. Plan a detour.

Shut down the lane(s) overnight, get a whole crew out there, mark out an area that is known to be pothole ridden, dig it up, resurface, repave, and get the fuck out when you’re…

“well, what do you want us to do, close down a whole lane of highway on a spur of the moment fix? How much are we going to spend on this pothole? Is it a total resurface?”

YES, DAMMIT, FIX YOUR DAMN ROADS, ITS YOUR JOB

*sigh*

Money coming through on kickbacks/taxes of our 2x weight limit >>> money spent defending current state of roads

easy equation :(

Official MDOT policy.

Counterpoint: we’re not particularly inclined to let MDOT have more money, when it’s apparent MDOT doesn’t properly spend the money they already have.

Anyone else remember when the last MDOT-related ballot came up, and there were sudden random lane/road closures to a) make it look like MDOT was doing more work than…

To be fair, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, New York, and Illinois all have very similar climates and better roads than we have.

Michigan is known for having some of the worst roads in the entire US of A:

As a reminder, MDOT’s official policy is they’re not held accountable for a pothole if it hasn’t been reported to them 30+ days ago.

It could be a sinkhole the size of Hell, Michigan that opens up overnight and swallows your car. MDOT says “nah, you’re accountable!”

So you’re telling me there’s a black, and a slightly darker black?

Article 0/10, does not compare measurements/performance to one of these

Ford GT gets a boosted 6-cyl, everybody loses their minds

Corvette...needs a 6-cyl? This’ll end well ;)

>He said they are fully aware the cash-strapped village can’t just hand over a $3 million check.

That’s funny, the village seemed to have no problem *taking* $3mil...

Don’t write (take) checks your ass can’t cash. Bankrupt the township/village, make them beg for assistance from the State/Feds, and teach everyone a…

I want sponsors for my race car. Where can I start?

I’ve contacted a couple local/specialized groups, and they don’t seem very interested :(

>Their engines won’t be quiet enough.

Aren’t you going the wrong direction here? ;) 

Do all ten speeds have to be forward-focused?

The movie “Drive” taught me that multiple reverse gears are a thing...

Jesus Christ, that picture looks like something I’d build in Kerbal.

Amusingly enough, *GM* 4cyl engines are a pretty common swap these days...
